My big adventure in Germany [2023]

[@benolifts]

Where should I go to when I next visit Germany? I am looking for unusual interesting parts to the railways and anything that would take my interest.

[@kapamilyaandkapusogroup3148]

Magandang umaga po. Sa Berlin po.

[@Manne-Frede]

You should visit the Schmid peoplemover in altbach

[@timon_don]

Netherlands

[@timon_don]

Go to the Netherlands and then go to the city Den Haag and go to mall of the Netherlands. And visit the city of Arnhem it has a very futuristic train station

Heilbronn

Great snorting @ 27:53, Beno! 😛

[@benolifts]

Yes, my new job should be a pig. But I wouldn't be good at the job as I would refuse to arrest train surfers.

[@Watch_the_gap]

At ~29:40, notice the Finnish Transtech Artic in Helsinki-livery.

[@qwertylello]

Ah...finally a good moment to savour this video. I kept it purposely on my "look later" playlist waiting for the right moment to watch it. Here we go!

[@gabrielstravels]

27:10 lol I've been to Berlin three times and yet i didn't know about that aquarium at all until now!

[@lwpdhofgh]

Beno!!! I'm a long time fan of yours from America and I'm excited to announce that next month I'm finally taking my first ever trip to Europe. I'm flying into Munich then going to Stuttgart, Bonn, Cologne, Efteling amusement park and Amsterdam. I'm very excited. Most of the journey is already planned but I'm open to suggestions of things to check out if I have time to kill. I'll have the most time to kill in Amsterdam.

[@benolifts]

There are a lot of railways to see in Germany. So much to explore. It is a very fun country. One of the best things you can do with the Deutschlandticket is the make use of the freedom it gives, and rather than making rigid plans, be flexible and ride trains as you feel inspired to go on them and explore the rail network.

[@joshlunt7827]

Seeing the needle for the floor indicator on one of the lifts reminds me of the Mr. Bean episode 'Mr. Bean in Room 426' lol

[@Trizo]

Interesting fact: The first lift you filmed is the first OTIS lift ever built in Germany. iirc, Siemens manufactured the motors and electrical equipment and Otis did the rest

[@MoritzVelten]

29:11 our old car 278 of Ruhrbahn Mülheim :) YES!!!

[@TheRobloxRanger1]

I really like your videos keep up the great work

[@benolifts]

Thanks

[@MrCyanGuy]

@@benoliftswell why do you always get caught lift surfing in like 50 countries

[@benolifts]

@@MrCyanGuy I have lift surfed in 40 countries and only been caught surfing in 6

[@Andrewjg_89]

I definitely would like to go to Germany just to ride on the trams and trains. And to ride on the lifts as well.

[@asetatlikalem]

the lift surf at the start of the video was all fun until engineer detected also, 0:59 Are these lift traction or hydraulic

[@benolifts]

Traction, with a 6 phase pole changer motor. When it speeds up you can see the change between the half speed and full speed pole change

[@asetatlikalem]

@@benolifts cannot imagine how big car that lifts motor and i alsa wonder how Does logic Look like. Maybe has slate of relay.

[@benolifts]

@@asetatlikalem It would have been slate relay originally. Don't know if the logic has been replaced, but it still feels relay controlled. Maybe it has been replaced with a later relay logic.

[@asetatlikalem]

@@benolifts maybe it has logic like the replacement relay logic thing at those bunker lifts. Or maybe it just has a well set up vf drive

[@benolifts]

@@asetatlikalem The lift doesn't have a VF drive as it has the pole change. At a guess I would say it probably would have something similar to the London bunker lifts. It is less likely to have slate relays as the lifts are used constantly and although slate relays are very reliable, with this much use things would have to be replaced, and there would be no spare parts. Alternatively, the lifts could be running on a PLC.

[@urgentkestrel7990]

Are the car lifts in the Elbe Tunnel listed?

[@OliWinch-hl3ww]

Oof the maintenance guy is on top of the other lift what a way to get caught

[@liftsiniceland5727]

I'm going to Germany next week

[@frozencoreice3558]

Have you ever been to Kollhoff Tower in Berlin? It has a 8,65 m/s lift. Also interesting might be the City Tunnel in Leipzig.

[@adilhossain8198]

Do you now have some more time to fix the bugs in your Building Simulator?

[@Murmel_Bahn]

Damn, you went where I live, crazy man

[@juoig7799]

Fun fact: A similar ticket in the UK would cost you a whopping EIGHT HUNDRED AND EIGHTEEN pounds (£818) for two weeks, not a month.

[@gabrielstravels]

And it can't even be used on some intercity services between some stations before 10:00am Monday to Fridays!

[@joshlunt7827]

I loved Cologne and Bonn when I went in 2011!

[@ZLDSmogless]

11:30 I mean, you could break the rules at the pool back home when no one is watching... I definitely don't

[@benolifts]

In uk council pools you never get a chance to break a rule. You are always watched.

[@wisteela]

I absolutely love your enthusiasm. The hunters are way more dangerous than the wild boars. I can't stand them c*nts. The water feature reminds me of dandelions that have gone to seed. I like that with the orange foot prints in that one lift. Seems to be left over from Covid. I actually really like that smiley face thing you thought was hideous. 😁

[@asclepi]

16:38 Was bound to happen one day

[@joshlunt7827]

When Beno said about the taped-off floor on one of the lifts, it reminded me of when he got stuck in the Beales lift in Worthing: kzbin.info/www/bejne/jJnPf2N7a5KpY6s

lol we ride the Waldbahn in Gotha yesterday. I was also in Dresden, Zittau, Hrádek, the Biedronka last week. We live between Halle and Nordhausen. The Deutschlandticket is a cool thing. BTW this year you can't sleep upstairs in Munich main station anymore, it's a construction site now. Last year I was also in Schengen (Perl) and you were there just a day later.

[@benolifts]

Germany is a lot of fun for travelling all over the country. The best part is there is no limits. As soon as I am bored with one city, I can go on a train to another, or even just take a random train and see where it goes. A couple of times I went to a city and found it boring as soon as I walked out of the hauptbahnhof, so I simply turned around and got on a train to a different city. This is the type of freedom I could never have in the UK.
